Why I Hit the Reset Button!
Why I Hit the Reset Button: A New Approach for Emerging Speakers! (...and why you should pay attention now!)
Published: October 1, 2025 | By BrandMaster, Martina Britt Yelverton
The Wake-Up Call That Changed My Approach
As the lead developer behind SpeakerConConference 2025's virtual experience and creator of comprehensive GoHighLevel training, I'm making a major pivot that changes everything about how I serve emerging speakers.
After creating dozens of comprehensive tutorials covering every GoHighLevel feature imaginable, I started receiving messages that stopped me in my tracks:
"I watched all your tutorials but I don't know which one to do first."
"I started building a funnel but realized I don't have forms set up."
"Everything seems connected to everything else and I'm paralyzed."
That's when I realized: Information without implementation is just entertainment.
Here's what I've learned from working with hundreds of emerging speakers: when you're struggling or stuck, comprehensive training can actually make things worse.
Too many options create paralysis. When I show you 15 different ways to use workflows, you spend time trying to figure out which approach is "best" instead of just implementing ONE approach that works.
Features taught in isolation don't make sense. Learning about pipelines before you understand what opportunities you're tracking is like learning to drive before you know what a car is.
Complex examples overwhelm beginners. When I show advanced automation sequences, emerging speakers think "I could never build that" instead of "let me start with something simple.
My New Mission: System Building, Not Feature Training
I'm hitting the reset button on everything. Instead of teaching you about GoHighLevel features, I'm going to build your complete speaker business system WITH you - piece by piece, step by step, in logical order.
The New Journey: 21 Tutorials That Actually Work
Phase 1: Foundation Setup (Tutorials 1-6) Starting with absolute basics - orientation, forms, calendars, basic website, simple funnels. By the end of Phase 1, you'll have a working system that captures leads and books calls.
Phase 2: Contact Management (Tutorials 7-11)
Organizing people and opportunities with CRM setup, custom fields, tags, pipelines, and simple automation that saves time.Phase 3: Communication Systems (Tutorials 12-16) Building professional communication with email templates, SMS, landing pages, surveys, and relationship-building automation.
Phase 4: Growth & Monetization (Tutorials 17-21) Adding growth features: membership sites, communities, courses, social media automation, and success measurement.
What Makes This Different
Logical sequence - Each tutorial builds on the previous one. You won't need something we haven't covered yet.
Simple implementations - We start with basic versions that work, then add complexity later.
Struggling speaker focus - Every tutorial answers "why does this matter to me RIGHT NOW as someone building a speaking business?"
No prerequisites assumed - If you need to know something, we'll cover it before we use it.
Behind the Scenes: My Multi-Platform Strategy
Here's something exciting I'm adding: I'm bringing my TikTok and Instagram Live audiences into the content creation process. They'll get behind-the-scenes access while I record YouTube tutorials, creating authentic engagement across all platforms.
This isn't just about better tutorials - it's about building community around the learning process and making sure no one gets left behind.
Your Complete Professional Transformation
This new approach extends beyond GoHighLevel. After we build your complete business system (Tutorials 1-21), we're continuing with:
Canva Design Mastery (5 tutorials) - Professional visual branding
Streamyard Video Content (5 tutorials) - Video creation and distribution
Zoom Events Excellence (5 bonus tutorials) - Virtual presentation mastery
By the end, you'll have complete professional mastery across all essential platforms - not just feature knowledge, but working systems that generate results.
The Commitment This Requires
This approach only works if you commit to following along in order. Don't skip ahead to "interesting" tutorials. Don't try to implement everything at once. Trust the process.
What I need from you:
Follow the sequence (Tutorial 2 after Tutorial 1, etc.)
Actually implement (don't just watch)
Start simple (use my basic examples first)
Ask specific questions when you get stuck
What You'll Have at the End
By Tutorial 21, you'll have a complete, working system that captures leads, books calls, manages contacts professionally, communicates systematically, tracks progress, and generates additional income from your expertise.
More importantly, you'll understand HOW it all works together, so you can modify and improve it as your business grows.
Ready to Build Your Speaker Business?
I'm starting with Tutorial 1 this week - the complete reset introduction that sets up our entire journey. Then Tutorial 2 focuses on the most fundamental piece: Forms. Not funnels, not websites, not CRM - forms. Because everything else depends on capturing leads effectively.
The complete implementation roadmap, checklists, and templates are available exclusively in my BrandYOU Community. This is where the real transformation happens - not just watching tutorials, but actually building your system with step-by-step guidance and community support.
If you'd rather have this entire system professionally built while you focus on speaking, that's exactly what BrandYOU Agency does. I help emerging speakers get their technology foundations right so they can focus on what they do best: speaking.
The question is: Are you ready to stop learning about features and start building a system that works?
